If I ran a bar, The Broken Spell is exactly how I'd want it to feel.
Enterald velvet and leather, gold trim. Dark, foresty wallpaper and cozy seating. Unfortunately, I hear there used to be live music, but this is no longer the case.
The drink menu has the requisite classics that feel at home in a classy cocktail room: martinis, negronis, Manhattans, that kind of thing. But the seasonal menu was much more exciting; we were there around Halloween, and they offered drinks with squid ink, pork belly washed bourbon, or absinthe. Risky and exciting for Disney!
The food menu is modest but solid. Our Caesar salad came with crotons made of croissant, which I have never seen before. And the bar snack mix is warm and includes favs beans, chick peas, and inca corn.
Really a fan. The Broken Spell feels like what every "nice" cocktail lounge wishes...

Atmosphere is quaint, serves are friendly, good bar type food, looking forward to trying more items.
